I'm almost possitive that they are sun corals (thanks for everyone that helped!!) One even has two polyps now!!
NanoKube, what do you feed it, is it in strong current, how often you you feed it? Try squirting some cyclop-eeze on it and wait 5 minutes.

NanoKube: What kind of lighting do you have? If you have only Power compacts it should be fine to pull the sun coral out from under the cave into the light where there is more current. Give it a try for about a week and see what happens, if it doesn't work out you can always put it back in the cave. Hope this helps  Thanks everyone, when they get a bit bigger I'll post some more see-able pictures  |

Yes, during and after feeding they will flower and they will look fuller and bigger too. Give them a week of good feedings and they will look about three times the size they are now! I'm glad the sun is working out for you, can't wait to see some pictures Happy sun coral feeding!! |

Hey nanokube, that's a great shot! Lots of neat little critters in there too. Looks like a very health suncoral.
